Re: No prison stay for 5-foot-1 child molester

1 vote to bring back the "rack". We can add 5 inches to this guys height in just a few days. Making just the perfect ride height for some prison rapage. Too short for prision.... good freaking grief..

"The most dangerous myth is the demagoguery that business can be made to pay a larger share, thus relieving the individual. Politicians preaching this are either deliberately dishonest, or economically illiterate, and either one should scare us...
Only people pay taxes, and people pay as consumers every tax that is assessed against a business."

Re: No prison stay for 5-foot-1 child molester

Doesnt surprise me one bit the way things have been going in this country. I BET this guy doesnt last very much longer on the outside either.I wonder if the guy that offs this loser gets 10 years probation also?

I would argue that - kinda a chicken before the egg argument (even though we all know the egg came first )

The reason why the judicial system is making these bogus decisions is because of the current problems with the prison system - which the judicial system caused in the first place. Vicious cycle.

But I definitely agree with you - the judicial system has its far share of broken policies including protecting the criminals.

Re: No prison stay for 5-foot-1 child molester

Two counts as I recall reading. But is that actually at issue?
The Judge said

"So I'm sitting here thinking this guy has earned his way to prison but then I look at you and I look at your physical size," Cecava is quoted as saying in the transcript. "I look at your basic ability to cope with people and, quite frankly, I shake to think what might happen to you in prison because I don't think you'll do well in prison."

So it seems to me the particular details dont matter. He earned his way to prison.
The light sentance was based on something other than the specific crime.

Re: No prison stay for 5-foot-1 child molester

I wish I knew the specifics. Grabbing a girls ass is different then raping her

"...he could have been sentenced to 10 years behind bars"

I don't think judges usually hand out 10-year prison sentences for an ass-grab

Shortness doesn't help in jail, but height alone doesn't determine how tough someone is. One of my friends is 6'4" and is really skinny, but I don't see them withholding prison sentences for people who are skinny. It's never been a concern of how well you'd hold up in jail and it shouldn't be a concern now just because someone is 5'1".
